Vyv Game (Guest)

 After the excitement of Burton week and for some Salcombe regatta, the highlight of the Gill series is just around the corner on 16th/17th of September! Voted the best event last year the Starcross open offers excellent sailing and fantastic onshore facilities at a very friendly club. This year we are sharing the weekend with the Wayfarer Westerns so it will be up to the 12 sailors to add the class and probably the excitement!
Limited camping is available at the club and breakfast will be served Saturday and Sunday mornings as well as a superb Saturday evening meal.

It would help me if I had an idea of numbers expected, particularly for the Saturday evening meal. If you could respond to this thread it would be very helpful.  In addition please let me know if you intend to arrive Friday evening for camping.

Sadly I can't make it there this year for a number of reasons.

Starcross really is a great venue though and I hope  that we can achieve a good turnout.

Cheers

Flipside and I would like to be there if anyone (not more than c.9 st) fancies crewing for the weekend as Anne is still not fit to sail yet.  Please email me on michael.day@hrp.org.uk or call evenings 020 8783 9243.

Vyv,
Starcross is certainly where I plan to be that weekend.  I have not been there since I was team-racing Larks against Exeter.  Still a few issues to resolve around crewing and babysitting, but I expect to see you there.  Unlikely to manage the evening meal due to the aforementioned children.

Pretty sure that my sister Frances (3431) will also be there as she has left her boat somewhere near Bristol to collect on the way.

Katy and I plan to be there, as do the Willises.  I too have not sailed there since the aforemention team racing more than 15 years ago.  Hope to see a big fleet!

Planning to be there with No 2 crew - so hopefully not too much wind on order (nice force 3ish).

Will need to camp or find some floor space.

Yes, Sophie and I will be there in 3431.  Mike, as you have given this much notice it can't be hard to find a crew.  There were a couple of keen crews that we sent down to Burton Week.  If you have no luck, give me a call and I will make a few calls myself or give you a couple of names.  Might be worth noting at least one of the people who can't make it as his crew is pretty local to Starcross.....

 I could  probably source local crews if that is any help to anyone.

If you're able to find a max 9 stone-ish crew for the weekend that'd be great.  If that doesn't work, I'll chase up Fran's kind offer.

Is there a pub or b&b close by (am too old to camp!)?

Im in the process of finding you a crew, watch this space.

I have found you a crew. She is called Anna Hickman, aged 15. Has experience crewing for her Dad in a Design 8, now currently sailing a Laser 4.7!
Let me know if you would like some contact details.
By the way the B&B list on the Starcross website is being updated so check it on a regular basis.
